Summary:

The papers dealt with in this the fifth instalment of the Calendar of the Cecil Manuscripts cover the comparatively short period of fifteen months only, namely, from October, 1594, to the end of the following year, a result which is entirely due to a decided increase in the quantity of material in the collection. As regards their contents, they will be found to furnish a great deal'of the kind of information which in modern times would be sought for in the archives Of the Department Of the Foreign Minister, and, indeed, viewed in this aspect, are complementary to the Foreign State Papers of thes same period preserved In the Public Record Office. Those of this nature here calendared relate more particularly to events occurring in Flanders and in France, describing the Course of negotiations with the States General of the United Provinces, and setting forth the wants and wishes of the King of France. This is increasingly the case as the year 1595 draws to its close. Before noticing in some detail the papers which may be referred to these heads, it will be convenient to indicate the contents of others of a more domestic character.
